Reduce energy consumption with fault detection and diagnostics
Does your tunnel controller help you manage or track electrical faults? An electrical fault caused by bad wiring, improper phase control and undersized electrical components is often overlooked as a reason for an electrical component failure or premature wear. Motors turned on and off too frequently are also a cause of heat and premature wear and often outside the specifications of the motor. Energy management can be a simple as employing phase monitoring or setting the car wash controller to keep motors running if the cycle between vehicles is too frequent. Logging faults and alerts, whether manually or through your tunnel controller, helps identify the root cause of system failures. The following article is about the importance of fault detection and monitoring
